[Check the discussion thread. I've posted an event from the Black Room It'll come in handy for later.]
Tetra met them as they walked through the portal. They found themselves in a city, Birmingham. The sky seemed distorted and nothing seemed to stir save for them. It would soon hit them that it was very cold. Which would probably make Ivan feel at home. "Damn I hate the cold. I'll explain how all of this works once we all get over here. I just wanted to let you know not to worry about breaking or destroying anything. We have free range of power usage on the hunt."

"Let's just get it over with," Brad said as he stepped through after them. "How hard could one opponent really be? Where is this Oni, anyway?"

Finally Brad and Juggernaut hopped through the portal where Tetra and the others were waiting. "That's everyone, Tetra."
"Good. Now a quick explanation." He pointed to the sky. "You see that the sky doesn't seem quite right. We are currently in a temporal disturbance field created by dozens of very powerful magicians and psionists. It is because of this field we have full range of power usage. Once it it dropped, everything within it will return to its form prior to the raising of it. All damage will revert back to it's normal state, but that doesn't apply to us so don't go getting suicidal on us because you think you'll be revived. We have to kill, decapitate, remove and burn our target. Juggernaut and I will take the head back to base as proof of a successful mission while you all remove and burn the rest of the body. Any last-minute questions before we hunt this Oni down?"

The Russian raised his hand cautiously. "I have question. What is this.. You said Oni? What is this Oni and what are we supposed to be? You talk magic and monsters. Such things are fake no?" He left out mentions of psionics due to his own powers, but monsters and magic were things for fairy tales, nothing more.

Alex grabbed his blade tightly in his hand before he began speaking, "The Russian, wasn't it? Magic and monsters aren't fake - in my hand I wield a blade forged by a form of magic, and I channel the power of that magic through me." Then he raised his hand up and dropped the sword, as it fell to the ground it turned into a wisp of smoke and reformed in the grasp of his other hand.
"Magic which won't let me leave my blade behind, since it is an extension of me and my soul by it's power."

Brad stepped forward so he was clear of the others. "Soldier One, Gear Up!" The purpose of the oddly thick bracelets became clear. Titanium arms and legs unfolded up his limbs, gloves filling out around his digits, his body armor unfolding up his chest, and as he turned back to face them, his helmet finished folding out over his head, blocking his eyes with a black-tinted visor and the mouthpiece folded up to meet it. The relation to a Power Ranger was obvious, though perhaps more in the manner that the relation between a human and cro-magnon was obvious. Still, it seemed quite an impressive display considering no amount of futuristic technology was involved, and a moment later, twin katar blades sprung down from his wrists into a ready position.
"And what if what you call Magic," he addressed Alex, his voice sounding like it was coming through one of those robotic voice changers, "I call advanced technology and psionics, and what you call monsters, I call genetic mutations and the results of tinkering with genetic engineering?"

The Russian blinked at the big words for a moment, trying to remember what they meant. Finally he nodded, putting a fist on his hand. "Okay, I can understand technology and psionics. My own powers are psionics. The other stuff is a little confusing, but I understand the gist of it. So we are fighting mutants then?"

"That's what I'd believe," Soldier agreed with a nod as he glanced to the Russian. "It makes more sense than actually believing in mystical monsters. Technology is plenty capable of producing its own monsters. Magic is simply what the simple-minded call technology or capabilities that they don't understand."

"Here at Midnight Blue we don't give a fuck what you believe. Just so long as you do your job without killing yourself or any of your teammates, what does it matter?" Whipping around to face away from the others he pointed. "That is where our Oni is. He'll more than likely have a club or some sort of primitive blade as a weapon, so be prepared for that" He started marching off toward the target expecting everyone to follow suit.
Meanwhile...
"RAHAHAHA!" A large oni swings his axe around like the blade of a helicopter over his head. He was obviously having fun tearing that section of the city apart. Behind him lay a ally of destruction that resembled what a tornado would leave. Demolished buildings, cars split in half and thrown aside, even skyscrapers leaning over because of several missing pieces. "FUN!"

(So do we timelapse to engaging the oni or what? And how large is large?)

[Oh about eleven feet. It's general specs are in the discussion thread. I figured it'd be easier that way. I'll be posting similar things in the discussion thread on future missions as well.]

(You mean ... as opposed to actually having to describe them ...)

[No... It doesn't include a specific description. It's a file on Oni from one of the Black Room's supercomputers.]
The group slowly approached where the Oni was. This was evident because of the eager laughter and sound of falling buildings. Tetra turned to his team with a smile. "Here it is. Our target is just around the corner, and it's time for you newbies to spread your wings. Juggernaut will be right behind you to lend you any support you may or may not need."
